*The speed of light in TV signals is 186,282 miles/second.
130,000,000 miles(the distance between Mars and Earth)_______________________________________________ = 697.87 seconds
186, 282 miles/ second (the speed of light)
(697.87seconds is about 698 seconds, which is about 12 minutes (11.633333333333333 minutes).

∙ 14y agoIt depends on how far away Mars is at the moment. Mars varies from 36 million to 250 million miles from Earth, so at the speed of light (186,282 miles per second) it would take between 3.2 and 22.4 minutes for a radio transmission (of a picture, or whatever) to reach Earth from Mars.

How long does it generally take to reach moon from the earth?
It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the moon. During that time a spacecraft travels about 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers) which is the distance between Earth and the moon.

What is the difference between 'spacecraft' and 'space shuttle'?
A spacecraft is a general name for a vehicle that can be launched into space. The space shuttles are a particular type of NASA spacecraft used for the Space Transportation System programme to move people, supplies and parts into space and back again. Also the reason why spacecrafts are more versatile than a spacecraft is that a space shuttle allows a living organism to live in space for a long period of time. While the spacecraft orbits around the earth several times and then comes back down to earth.

How long does it take from earth to the moon?
That depends on the speed. For a ray of light, a little over a second. For a spacecraft, with current technology, a few days.

9 years maybe sike naw it really is 9 years.
Suppose you are operating a remote controlled spacecraft on Mars from a station here on Earth. How long will it take the craft to respond to your command if Mars is at its nearest point to the Earth?
First you must figure out how close Mars can get to the earth.
